The Famed Georgia Peach Truck散播甜蜜滋味的水蜜桃卡車

【摘要2020.4.16.蘋果】

Each year, the state of Georgia grows more than 36 million kilograms of peaches, and most of them come from small family-owned farms. However, even in nearby states, few people have actually tasted “real”Georgia peaches. The reason is that Georgia’s highest-quality peaches begin to rot just days after being picked. As a matter of fact, most peaches found in grocery stores are bred for longer shelf life rather than flavor.

喬治亞州每年會種植三千六百多萬公斤的水蜜桃，而且它們大部分來自家族經營
的小農場。然而，即使是在鄰近的州，也很少人實際品嚐過「真正的」喬治亞州
水蜜桃。原因是喬治亞州最高品質的水蜜桃被摘下後沒幾天就會開始腐爛。事實
上，多數在雜貨店裡看到的水蜜桃都是為了更長的保存期限而非風味而培育的。
